‘THE BROADWAY MELODY* ,
“One of the most talented students
of cinematic art” is the brief but
expressive summary of Anita Page's
meteoric rise to fan s in the short
span of eight months.
For blue-eyed, blonde-haired An
ita, after having appeared in less
than one-half dozen pictures, was
given the movie “plum” of the sea
spn when she was assigned to a
featured part in Metro-Goldwyn
Mayer’s all-talking, all-singing, all
dancing production, “The Broadway
Melody,” the current attraction at
the Arcadia theater.
Miss Page plays the role of the
younger of two sisters whose pre
sumed cleverness adds many a hu
morous angle to many a hutaw j
mourous angle to an extremely sad
tale of two small-town troupers.
Bessie Love as the business man
ager of the kerosene circuit, “sister
act” endeavors to startle Broadway
with their number, but after a try
out at the request of a boy friend
who writes special scenes for them,
the act fails.
The theme song, “Broadway Mel
ody,” augumented by several jazz
laden tunes written especially for
this gorgeous porduction. are among
the outstanding details of this dra
matic and heart-gripping story of
theaterdom. Harry Beaumont, re
I sponsible for “Our Dancing Daugh

3 PROBLEMS ON
HOOVER’S MIND
* —. .
Chief Executive Studying
Farm Aid, Administra
tion, Enforcement
By JAMES L. WEST
^Associated Press Staff AVriter)
WASHINGTON. April 16.—Presi
dent Hoover is concentrating on
three problems to the exclusion of
other matters.
This accounts to a large degree
for the lack of reaction from the
White House to suggestions for a
consideration of relations with soviet
Russia, a new naval arms conference
and other subjects.
Foremost among the present prob
lems is the redeeming cf the party
campaign pledges for farm relief
and tariff revision. Of only slight
ly less importance is the completion
of the reorganization of the admin
istrative machinery of the govern
ment. Third is the setting up of
the law enforcement commission to
conduct study into the operations
of enforcement commission to con
duct study into the operations of
enforcement machinery in all of its
branches and into the working of
the prohibition enabling acts in par
ticular.
Administration officials forsee lit
tle difficulty in getting through a
farm relief measure along the lines
laid down in the republican party
platform and in the campaign ad
dresses cf the president, and they
are hopeful that limited tariff re
vision can be accomplished without
undue delay.
They also expect that within three
or four months administrative re
organization will be completed. Sub
stantial progress has been made in
that direction and announcements
probably will be made this week
of appointments or the full person
nel of assistants to the postmaster
general and the attorney general.
This will leave only two depart
ments—state and commerce—in
which reorganization work will be
incomplete.
President Hoover has made prog
ress in selecting members cf the law
enforcement commission, but thus
far he has kept his selections se
cret. The personnel of the commis
sion probably will be completed
within a week or 10 days.
When the commission reaches the
study of prohibition enforcement all
sides will be given an opportunity to
be heard and this phase of the in
quiry alone probably will consume
some weeks.
WEATHER SUMMARY
A disturbance of much intensity

Schact Says Annuities Pro
posed Ey Commissions Ex
ceeds German Capacity
I PARIS, Apirl 16.—OP)—Dr. Hjal
imar Schacht, German reparations
i expert, told the erparations commis
sion today the allied reparations an
nuities proposed on Saturday ex
ceeded Germany’s capacity to pay.
Today’s session opened with .the
distribution cf a table of figures
showing the creditor nations had
arrived at the proposed annuities.
This table had been requested yes
terday by Dr. Schacht who asked
fer more light on the individual
items.
After the tables were distributed
there arose a general discussion
in which Dr. Schacht took the lead
as to the ability of Germany to meet
the pronosed payments.
Thus began the period of real bar
i gaining which will probably result
in more or less whittling down of
the proposed annuities. As the dis
cussion went on, the atmosphere
around the lobbies of the Hotel
George V was more optimistic.
There was a general feeling in ex
pert circles that some sort of an
agreement was certain.

THOUSANDS AT
BAILEY RITES
Texas* Foremost Political
Figure Laid to Rest In
Old Home Town
_________ •
GAINESVILLE, April 16.—Joe
Bailey sleeps today on a little knoll
overlooking the Texas city he chose
as his home when he “went west”
from his native state of Mississippi
years ago.
Amid a tremendous outpouring of
old friends, Joseph Weiuon Bailey,
former United States senator from
Texas and one of the most interest
ing personalities ever to appear on
the stage of Texas politics, was laid
to rest yesterday near the scenes
of his first political triumphs.
The statesman was interred beside
the body of his first wife, on a lot
he had owned for many years. As
the funeral cortege left the railroad
station, floral tokens were dropped
from an airplane overhead, a last
mark of respect from those in the
senator's old home town.
The funeral procession was one
of the longest, if not the longest,
ever here. A special train brought
the several hundred friends from
| Dallas, where funeral services had
been held earlier in the day. in
j addition, there were thousands from
Gainesville and other north and east
Texas cities who came to pay their
| respects to the fallen leader.
Industry was stilled, banks and
shops and courts were closed, that
I all might march out to the little
I Fairview cemetery and take a last
look at friend and neighbor. The
[ bronze casket was opened and the
i tear-dimmed multitude filed past
I while the gathering sang “there's
a land that is fairer than day.”
The Rev. James Gcber of Green
ville, lifelong friend of Bailey, after
a brief prayer, introduced Judge
Nelson Phillips, who delivered the
principal eulogy on the life of his
j departed comrade.
